Members mrcrow Posted August 19, 2005 Members Share Posted August 19, 2005 has anyone tried to convert a headed bass to headless...the ABM bridge is quite pricey but looking at it it may be able to be usedthe truss rod adjustment probably would be the difficultythere is a broken necked hohner B2a on ebay brand new with the full steini bridge and head....would it be useful in this respect wotchadointonite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members melancholy mechanic Posted August 19, 2005 Members Share Posted August 19, 2005 for what it would cost to do the conversion you'd be better off looking for a used status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members melancholy mechanic Posted August 19, 2005 Members Share Posted August 19, 2005 couldn't get the link to work for me. one thing to look for on a headless bass is whether or not you can use regular strings. ball end strings can be a pain in the ass to get and they are more expensive! i would save my pennies and look for a nice used status empathy.... mmmm... yummy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
